Commission us
Parent Talk is an award-winning parenting advice service. We support parents and carers through our online advice articles and webchat and WhatsApp support service. We can work with your local authority to improve outcomes for families in your local area.
Partnership opportunities for commissioners
Parent Talk can offer online support for families in your area.
The Parent Talk service is run by the charity Action for Children. If you already commission Action for Children services in your area, we can train your support workers on the Parent Talk service. If you don’t have Action for Children staff in your area, we can provide local family support staff.
If you partner with us, we can:
- add local information to our advice articles for families in your area
- recruit local family support workers to provide online support and give prioritised access
- use our expertise, knowledge and skills in delivering high quality and cost-effective online family support
- work with you to assess and understand remote support needs for families in your area, including early intervention and mental health support
- collaborate with local on the ground services to ensure Parent Talk blends into and works alongside your family support offer
- be responsible for supervising the safeguarding process of families using the service
- work within your local authority safeguarding frameworks
- provide online advertising to parents in your local area looking for support
- deliver tailored reporting, data and insights on the use of the service, families needs, interventions and outcomes
